HEROIC DEEDS AT YPRES.
Sir, —May I ask for space to inform all military units interested in the preparation of tho proposed " Xpres Book of Valour" that they should address mo in place of tho late Fio.ld-Marsliall. the Earl of Ypres, on this subject? Notices were recently sent to regiments telling those who have not already contributed to the material of this book that accounts.. of heroic deeds that they wish to have included must be received by September 30 next. They were also told that in view of tho immediate success of 11 The Immortal Salient" it has been now'decided to compile the " Book of Valour" in the form of a companion volume to the first book. Following tho roads of " The Immortal Salient." we propose to fill out the map with incident and story connected with each historic spot. The late FieldMarshall took a deep interest in it, and it is our earnest wish that every regiment will be represented somewhere in this epic. W. P. Pur.TEXKY, Lieut-General, Chairman, Yprcs League. 9, Baker Street, London W.l.
